Feel Amazing almost 6 months out!



Recommended Posts

Almost 5 1/2 months out and down 77lbs! The first picture was taken the night before surgery... I'm thankful I have it for comparison. This Surgery has saved my life in so many ways. IMG_2020-12-30_22-24-25.jpg

I've volunteered at my clinic for the last four years (well, until COVID hit, anyway), helping with the pre-op classes. I always tell patients to have someone take pictures of them from front, back, and side(s) to document their journey. It's proof that you ARE getting smaller, which is a great reference on days you're feeling like nothing is happening, and also, it's fun to have so you can see what you looked like at various weights. I had my husband take pictures of me the day before surgery and then on my surgery date (the 3rd of each month) every month until I hit maintenance. I'm so glad I did that!

you look great, btw!

Oh. My. Goodness! Amazing. Not only have you shrunk, your stance is completely different now! I know it is hard to tell from the pic, but it looks like you even got taller! CONGRATULATIONS!!

Wow- you look fabulous and are an inspiration for me! I am the same height and same SW. Pre-surgery weight was 236. My bypass was on 11-4-20 and I'd be thrilled to have your results at 5.5 months out!!

Congratulations and best of luck!👏

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
